In 2025, Community Forklift celebrates its 20th Anniversary! To mark the occasion, we've reprinted three of our favorite shirt designs from throughout our 20 years of reuse.
The "Teach an old log new tricks" design was the winning entry in our 2013 shirt design contest. Shirt designer and contest winner Randie Hovatter appreciates the sustainability mission behind Community Forklift and is drawn to giving thrifted pieces a second life. Using their art skills to reimagine and transform salvaged materials into something beautiful and functional is one of their favorite ways to create!
100% cotton.
